    Apparently, when Barbara Billlingsly got the script, she had no idea what jive was. She met with the two other actors in this scene and they all three went out to lunch where they wrote out that entire dialogue. Comedic gold.

    I actually got to meet the guy on the left at wondercon, he was actually pretty cool. I asked him how much of the jive speak was prewritten or if it was all improvised right on camera? It was from a script, however he told me that he and the other guy wrote it up themselves on set, he also told me that Barbara Billingsley was a delight to work with, absolutely sweet and found the concept of the jive language to be really fun so she wanted to get this scene right and all three of them had a great time teaching her how to deliver the lines.

      This is a great lesson in how to work towards social harmony. Being able to laugh at one's own culture on the one hand, and someone outside of it getting in on the joke without condescension on the other (in other words, laughing with them, not at them). That we don't do either of these things anymore is one of the reasons the world is so messed up.

    As brilliant as the script for this movie is, I have to say the casting really elevated to genius level. Apparently, to sell it as a satire of disaster movies, the creators knew they needed to have everyone take the script as seriously as possible, so they cast actors known for their dramatic roles in the leads (Leslie Nielsen, for example, WASN’T known as a comedian before “Airplane!”), reasoning it would be funnier. That philosophy is so perfectly captured by putting Barbara Billingsley-June Cleaver herself, THE housewife of 1950’s TV, the pinnacle of wholesomeness-as a foul-mouthed grandmother fluent in jive. Absolute genius!

    • @manonymous4737
      @manonymous4737 4 ปีที่แล้ว +91

      Christian Krenek Yes! Inspired casting. It wouldnt be the same without Leslie Nielsen’s perfect delivery. All of them played it so perfectly, It was the first of its kind, and set the benchmark. It scared the pants off Mel Brooks - he made Men in tights straight after this came out, completely different from his other films

    • @natelav534
      @natelav534 4 ปีที่แล้ว +107

      Yeah supposedly comedians would constantly overact and overplay the script which made it corny. The script was the funny part they didnt need a comedian to make it funny. So leslie was the perfect actor being such a serious hardass type actor at the time.

      Barbara Billingsley was not only a veteran actress, but one known for her quirky sense of humour. She was a natural for the part of the jive talking white woman. Besides, these movies played heavily on humour that baby boomers, above all, appreciated. That's why so many of the actors were icons from our early years who were doing outrageous self parodies. I'm sure lots of us were as delighted as I was to see June Cleaver back in action!

    I was a small boy when my older brother took me to see this at the theatre. It was quite the experience. I had been to a couple movies before but nothing like this. The theatre was completely packed and 85% of the jokes were flying over my head. The laughter was insane. I remember this very heavy woman in front of me actually fell out of her seat from laughing. I remember sitting in the back row and taking it all in. It was strange to see an entire theatre screaming from laughter. Oh and on this scene I remember thinking it was an actual foreign language and didn’t understand why people were laughing.

      It wasn't the jive scene that had me hurting with laughter, it was the scene where Lloyd Bridges had sniffed the glue and was so messed up, he was upside down while the rest of the world was right side up!

    The vulture is perfect example of Zuckers/Abrahams philosophy of never having a shot without a joke in it. Whether it was in dialogue, a sight gag, a running joke, background weirdness, whatever, every single shot was intended to have something funny in it. Often times, a single shot will feature multiple jokes. Almost nothing was off-limits. Even the simple exterior shots of the airplane are hilarious when you realize its a then-modern jet airliner, but has the sound of a WWII-era propeller plane. It's also just a model plane hanging on a string, not moving forward.
    Lastly, Barbara Billingsley kills it in this scene. Damn funny.

    One of the hilarious subtleties of this movie was how they used so many well-known actors against type. Barbara Billinsgley speaking jive, Peter Graves as the pilot, Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges in the control tower, and, of course, Leslie Nielsen who was able to use this movie to turn his career around 180° and give us some more hilarious performances in later movies.

      Some of the parody us lost to time. The husband who asks for two cups of coffee and then she talks to herself were the actual actors from a very prominent coffee commercial on TV. Their scenes in the movie poke directly at their actual TV ads. But this is lost because the ads stopped decades ago and nobody gets the joke.

      Lauren Glenn NO the thing was that people were very cool in a diverse environment and it was fair game on BOTH sides and there was no saying of the N word just to insult folks. This country cannot handle this today because people are too ignorant and have gone too far, so that's what happens when America turns a pleasant environment (like that of the 1980s) into a mean spiteful environment (the Millennium). No , we can count on NEVER enjoying that kind of camaraderie, and remember, it took 70 years just for folks to earn that right to play like that...by 2001, folks BACKWARDS in disrespecting others in reality and then it became WAYYYY too racist,violent and shitty and so the "right" to play like that was gone. You had to be there anyway, it was a better time all the way around. If anyone was born after 1985 you will never, ever, ever understand the entire atmosphere of the 1980s. People MOSTLY respected one another for who they were and that just isn't happening today. Just look at the YOU TUBE comments across the board. It did not even have anything to do with "political correctness", it simply had to do with treating others the way YOU want to be treated. Too many freaks who want to stir up the shit pot against others. SO we ALL may as well enjoy it on film (and leave it at that) because those days will NOT be back at all. Count on it. The country should not have gone out of their way to reverse the way things were. No no one can be trusted any more. Can't say as I blame any one, either. The climate was a better climate in those days for every one and not so damned stupid as it is today. People have taken things way too far now and that's that.

      100% agree. The whole idea of this scene is genius! The two black actors were stand-up comedians in the 1970s and they had this bit in their stand-up act where they talked ‘jive’ in normal everyday circumstances. The producers heard about them, loved their bit, and put them in the movie. Meanwhile the producers were loading up ‘Airplane’ with cameos and decided this would be a good place for another surprise appearance. Now … if you got two super-cool jive-talking black dudes, who would be the EXACT OPPOSITE of that? The person you would least expect to understand them? That’s right! Only the whitest woman in TV history: June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley)! This scene is one of my favorite parts of the movie - aw let’s face it this movie has so many great scenes. Comedy gold!!!

      Yes! Imagine what Jerry Mathers (Beaver Cleaver) and Tony Dow (Wally Cleaver) thought of this the first time they saw it. I bet they laughed till they cried. LOL

      A long time ago I read an interview with Jerry Mathers where he said he saw "Airplane" when it came out but didn't know Barbara was in it. When he saw that scene he died laughing. All I can remember is when I went to see this flick during the summer of 1980. When this scene happened everyone in the theater died laughing.

      Tysons Accosta Saw it back in 1980 (several times!) too, and the whole theatre was howling w laughter from beginning to end. I was lucky enough to do college when it was still about brewskis, pizza, bong hits and babes. Good times!

      I like the interview with Peter Graves and Robert Stack. Most of the time neither of them knew what the hell was going on, but they were told to play it straight. Sounds like Barbara didn't really know what was going on either, but she did a fantastic job (as did everyone else!)

      Isn't it the black actors that should be OK with it?

    And that's the genius of Airplane! Just over two minutes of footage and I count at least nine gags. It kept up that pace (give or take) throughout. Having June Cleaver speaking jive would be a crowning gag achievement in any comedy movie, though.

    What an actress. Those were the days, when the actors and actresses were asked to do something and they could do it on a dime. How did Barbara Billingsley get the tone, the cadence, and the all-around vibe of jive talk? Yes, I know that she worked it out with the actors… but still! Amazing scene in movie history.
